Youngsters draw specified angles when given measurements of other angles and discover traits of angles in similar triangles. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length then...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

In this math worksheet, learners are asked to used a compass and straight edge to construct copies of shapes, angles and line segments.

Students roll a ball down a plank and measure the distance it travels. Students graph the distances the ball travels as they change the height of the incline (increase slope).

Students design a "dream house" and plan to install flooring, tile and other products that are bought by a certain measurement. Problem solving be used in determining how much of each product to use and the total cost of each installed.

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...

Learners explore and examine how patterns, measurement, ratios and proportions are utilized in the research development and production of airplanes. They meet a pilot from the Federal Aviation Association who describes the growth of air...

For this activity students pretend that they have been hired by a candy manufacturer to design a box for a new product they are beginning to market. The manufacturer has pre-determined the volume of the candy box. It is the students' job...

Young scholars collect snow samples around their school. They explore the concepts of density and phase change as well as the math skills of measurement and statistics. Students explore the water cycle through an interactive, down...

Students aim to explain the need for standardization of units of measurement. They pose their own standards for the value of a kilogram and compare them with the currently used standard.

Seventh graders see the relationship of math and the real world application by manufacturing a product for making a profit. They create a food product from a recipe, record their sales and analyze and report their gross profit.

Students construct the Metric Pyramid from the handout. They use the Metric Pyramid to convert from standard to metric measure and vice versa. They compute their own Body Mass Index.

Students explore similar objects. They participate in a series of hands-on, multimedia and online activities to examine how the edge length affects the angle measures, perimeters and areas of similar regular polygons. Students find the...

Students study forces by examining the force of gravitational attraction. They observe how objects fall and measure the force of gravitational attraction upon objects. Students discover that, since gravitational constants are different...

Students examine how navigation is based on mathematics and how making a mistake in measuring an angle could have an impact on a target. They observe a teacher-led lecture, use a calculator to complete two worksheets, and participate in...

A six-page packet walks, or bends learners through angles that combine to create triangles. Definitions are given for right triangles, obtuse and acute triangles. They draw angles according to directions, using a protractor to meet the...

Students measure angles using a protractor. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the missing angles using equations set to the theorem of triangles. They measure missing angles through construction and identify congruent angles.

Learners calculate pi using data on the circumference and diameter of various objects. They define key vocabulary terms, measure the circumference and diameter of various circular objects, organize the data on a table or chart, and...

In this science worksheet, students identify and explain what each unit represents and how much each one equals. Then they use a metric ruler to locate each measurement and write it on the line. Students also locate the distance between...

For this history of Nebraska worksheet, students read information about pioneer life in a sod house.  Students conduct 4 experiments where they use measurement skills and observational skills to imagine the size, light levels, smell...

Students determine whom they consider "the best" performer in a variety of entertainment industries and discuss how to accurately measure greatness. They create bar graphs comparing statistics of the 1975 Cincinnati Reds and the 1998 New...

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Students gain an enhanced understanding of the relationship between proper nutrition and good health. Through use of video, hands-on activities and interaction, students measure energy in food, and recognize sources of vitamins and...
